Obviously the first measurements are old so, did he have recent growth spurt? Hockeydb is not known for accuracy in measurements.

The first is his measurement at the beginning of 2015-16, the second is from the start of 2016-17.

He is way bigger now. Looked good late in the year. Don't know why he didn't lead the team in points because he looked like their best player. Skilled and speedy and goes to the net.

More just a games played thing though considering he led the team by a good margin in points/game at 2+.

Any reason he didn't do as well in the J20 league on a pretty average team? Was it simply a matter of not much playing time and being buried? He's obviously still young and raw, but you'd think a player like him would push for more ice time. He did have the 2nd highest p/pg in J18 Allsvenskan.

I meant J20. Good players score for fun in J18 leagues, the difference between the good and bad teams in those leagues is huge.

He struggled at the first part of the season, but had a solid finish in both J18 Allsvenskan/J18 SM (where the level is way better than in J18 Elit) and J20 Fortsättningsserien (where the level is weaker than in J20 Top 10). The way he played at the end of the season I would expect him to be one of the first to expect a call up to the mens team next season when there are injuries/suspensions.

Anybody who has seen him play? What are some of his strengths/weaknesses? What kind of role would you project him into later on? Middle/Bottom 6?

 

[whitstifier]

Another goal for this unknown. Any updates from SHL viewers who've gotten a chance to watch this kid?

[Tripod]

And thanks to Appleyard's info, he has 2 goals in 3 games....the other 3 games he dressed but did not get any icetime. Just info for future reference as the year goes on.

 

[Tripod]

Scored 2 of the teams 3 SO goals including this winner. Had an assist in the game.
